He will always be just an ordinary soldier

A soldier who made great military exploits was given the opportunity to go home to visit his mother for two days. In the face of the brutal war, he was just an ordinary soldier.

cruel and absurd war

From the constant depiction of the sadness and loneliness of the elderly mother at the beginning, until the mother's face turns young, we realize that this is a tragedy. What we know about the ending of the tragedy and what Alyosha has said about the ending, let us hang the tragic moment on him. Although we have experienced all kinds of good human nature along the way, we still cannot stop the objective existence of tragedy.

At 6 minutes, the camera panned up 180 degrees, causing the soldier and the tank chasing it to escape the earth's gravity and walk upside down. A small soldier is chased by a large tank, the upside-down world, war, is so absurd.

Next, the male protagonist made a great feat: destroying two tanks, as if everything was a chance, and immediately became a hero. Our hero made a small request: go home to see his mother. So he set out on a journey.

The disabled comrade-in-arms was unwilling to go home, and the friend's wife had lost their love. The source of the conflict was undoubtedly the cruelty of the war, but fortunately, they were all resolved.

Alyosha is such a foolish boy, holding Shula's hand, he agrees with each other, but it doesn't work out.

74 minutes away, a loud noise, a woman said: "I hope it is thunder." Full of helplessness and desire for peace, hoping to escape, but there is no way to escape.

After two days of journey, I finally hugged my mother. The meeting in just a few minutes was precious and helpless.

three love

From the mutual support and perseverance of the disabled and his lover, to the comrades' only unilateral longing for his wife, to the loss of Alyosha and Shura. Is love in war beautiful?

Beautiful and moving.

Empathetic wife: "Please don't tell him the truth...it might be better to tell the truth

But cruel and helpless. Perhaps it is cruelty that embodies beauty. But in the end it is the scars of war.

different socialism

Although this is an anti-war movie that has been paid attention to by society, the portrayal of characters in it does not reach the level of saints, which is where it can move people's hearts.

Some people use their power to make money, some people abandon their husbands on the battlefield, and Alyosha also bribes sentries with canned food. Facing the pure and lovely Shula, he also shows the desire to cross the border, and his vivid images are different. socialism.

common soldier

At first, we praised the image of the hero of Alyosha, who was questioned by others on the train. At his friend's father's house, he lied that his friend was a hero in the army and a role model for everyone. Until the end of the reunion with his mother, he will no longer mention the illustrious military exploits. Along the way, the depiction of human nature, the writing of love, the desire for peace, and finally the hug with the mother. A man's record on the battlefield is no longer important, he is always just an ordinary soldier, and the song of a soldier is by no means a victory song.

    When I asked my dad what he wanted to see, he said he only wanted to watch the war, so I picked this one, and after watching it for half an hour, he silently went to wash and sleep...My mother glanced at the side and said that the Soviet girl is so beautiful. But I want to say that the guy in the Soviet uniform is really fucking handsome! When I saw the end, I ran away in tears. It took a lot of hardships before I got home. I can only meet my mother for a few minutes. As for me, I only know the annoyance when I come back. It's really conscience!
